Hobbies and activities - I am making a change (I think)
Does anyone here have any plans for a new hobby? Anyone find they have no real hobby outside of work, day to day and slobbing around unproductively on tv and the internet? I am thinking of hobbies this year.
Last year (or a few years ago to my ADHD brain I am not sure which) my partner decided to start a new activity every year. In reality I think she started two last year since saying that. A book club and joined a wild swimming group. She is planning on a new one this year (although she has signed up to a second book club organisaed by friends already she is looking at another one).
So while on a certain forum I saw someone had put a plea out for anyone in a certain area who wants to meet up somewhere local as a carving group (actually wooden spoon carving). It happened to be 15 to 20 minutes away from me so with intrepidation I posted that I was local and interested. I have never carved and had no kit, which I owned up to, but that is not the point. I expressed interest. Unfortunately it has not gone anywhere. However the idea of a group thing gives accountability so it was a good chance to actually start on that hobby.
To be fair I have wanted to do some carving for a long time or at least try it but have not.
So I wonder if others have difficulty starting new hobbies or are you crowded out with new hobbies that you never keep up? What is your relationship with hobbies and leisure activities like hobbies? Are there easy ones for the hobby phobic? I mean the hobby keeping up phobic. Just curious really.
